Now before we start the party I have a few request.

*Please provide a back link to the party either by using my button or a text link ON your blog post.  Sorry no link on the post no feature.  By the way, what's up with those of you that have cooking blogs. Most of you don't provide a back-link so I can feature you. Just curious. :-)

*By linking up to the party it is understood that you are allowing me to use your images to post on my blog and any or all of the social networks. I always give you credit.

One more thing. Don't forget to come back tomorrow and check out Free Graphic Wednesday and pick up some images for all of your crafty projects.

Soooo...what have you been up to? We want to see!

My Balloon Back Chairs

You know, sometimes you just want someone else to do all the work.  As soon as I saw my ca. 1840's balloon back chairs and pedestal table I knew I wanted them restored by an expert. Now I can restore but I specialize in painting and I wanted someone that specialized in antiques.

Just so you know, Mr. PJH and I have sort of a chair fetish. I know. Scandalous! But we have a tendency to buy too many and I have a storage building with a lot of odd and end chairs. Anyway, here are the before pictures of my chairs.

Aren't they beautiful! I just love them. Notice the chewed area on the diamond shape on the bottom of the back? Yeah, a problem but not for a professional.  

If you live in the Shreveport/Bossier City area and you have a quality antique you need to have restored go to Red River Refinishers. They are the best and are known for restoring antiques in plantations for miles around. 

Here are my chairs after they refinished them.

They had this gorgeous fabric in their remnants and I fell in love as soon as I saw it. Notice the brass wheels on the front that were missing before.  If you don't know what they are for let me explain. 

When a gentleman seated a lady the wheels made it easier to slide her chair back into place especially if she was fat uh,  pleasingly plump. :-)

People I have scrutinized all three chairs thoroughly and I can not tell which chair was the chewed one! Notice the beautiful patina or variation in color on the stain.

They use a special glaze they mix themselves to achieve that look. That's one recipe I would love to have. 

I have to admit that it was quite expensive and took five months to get them back but we were in no hurry, and the beautiful results make the price worthwhile.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my refurbished balloon back chairs. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week.

Hugs,

P. S. Don't forget about Transformed Tuesday link party! I usually start the party on Monday night so hop on over and link up your latest projects and check out all the inspiration.
